    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198361920303

    Victim profile: 76561198050351848

    What happened? Description:
    Accused sent me a friend request, I accepted it he chatted with me and wanted to buy my 30 key unusual pencil pusher and wanted a middleman since he was saying that he "didn't want the items to disappear". I ended the chat before I sent the items to the middleman, I lost no items, but he tried.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Screenshot 8 shows the accused's initial chat with me, where we agree to sell my unusual for 25 keys. He also lists 3 "admins" that I could middleman with.

    The first, (http://steamcommunity.com/id/xAliasx/) seems to be a legit reddit admin, but i believe he would not help us since he is offline.

    The second, (http://steamcommunity.com/id/OfficialTravis/) is his alt account and was used to try to scam me. His profile is on screenshot 11, with his fake steamrep screenshot for his artwork. his real steamrep is on screenshot 12.

    The third, (http://steamcommunity.com/id/WestVillage/) is a real middleman but his profile says that he will not middleman now.

    So, the scammer was counting on me to send a friend request to his alt account since the others wouldn't middleman. Screenshots 6 and 7 show our chatting and adding the accused to the chat for a group chat. I pretended I was going to send the unusual until the end of the chat. I know if i had sent the unusual i would have lost it. The moment I told them I knew they were scammers they both left and unfriended me.

    Screenshot 13 shows the accused's backpack, which proves that i verified his identity and that he did not have the keys which he claimed he was sending to his alt account, Official Travis.​

    Thanks - do keep in mind that this user is already banned/tagged..there isn't any more we can do to this user. Should you come across a user like this again(check users out BEFORE you accept friend request) it is best to just report them to Valve, delete and move on.


    NEVER give us Custom URL's... always SR profile blocks
